L.A. looking at giving car owners 'the boot' after 3 or 4 unpaid parking tickets
January 28, 2010 | 9:15 am

Los Angeles city officials say they would like to give cars "the boot” after owners rack up three or four unpaid parking tickets, instead of five as the law requires now.
The idea is outlined in the city’s proposed 2009-10 State Legislative Program, which it plans to submit to the Legislature to show its support for a bill that would change the current state vehicle code by reducing the number of unpaid parking citations required before a vehicle may be impounded.

--------------

It would also bring more money to the city through impounding and booting fees. The city collects $19 million with the current parking code. If the number of parking citations is reduced to four, the city would increase its funds by nearly $26 million. If it is reduced to three, the change would result in an additional $61 million.

1. Are ticktets mostly for business related or residential parking?

If residential then it is both the city and homeowners at fault for lack of parking space on their own land.
